DES
MOINES--Despite
the
ham-'
Â·
stringing
of
the
AAA,
the
federal
p-'"^
government
will
direct
a
flow
of
cash,
bonds
and
loans
totaling
more
than
S135.000.000
into
Iowa
pocketbooks
in
1936
if
expectations
arc
realized.
This

added
to
the
loans
and
grants
of
$546,000,000
previously
alloted.
will
raise
the
total
of
federal
financial
aid
to
Iowa
to
more
than
$682,000,000
since
the
new
deal
came
into
existence,
an
Iowa
Daily
Press
Association
survey
revealed.
This
5682,000,000
figure
exceeds
the
1935
Iowa
farm
income.
It
means
that,
by
the
end
of
the
year,
an
average
of
S28Q
for
every
man,
woman
and
child
will
have
come
into
this
state
from
the
federal
government
since
President
Roosevelt
took
control.
In
Outright
Benefits.
Except
for
$7,000,000
in
corn
loans
and
$371,000
in
PWA
loans,
the
entire
1936
total
will
come
to
Iowa
in
the
form
of
outright
benefits
and
gratuities.
Immediately
pending
is
523,000,000
in
corn-hog
cash
due
under
the
old
AAA
contracts
of
the
1935
program.
Payment
of
the
adjusted
compcnsion
certificate
bonds
totaling
541,000,000
is
another
big
item
scheduled
to
be
taken
care
ot
by
summer.
Slightly
more
than
half
of
the
$682,000,000
will
have
to
be
paid
back.
In
loan
agency
cases,
some
of
it
already
has
been.
The
outright
gifts
and
benefit
payments
to
Iowa
'since
the
new
deal
total
$326,500.8-16
while
the
loans
at
their
peak
figures
reached
$356,115,10.
The
soil
conservation
program,
successor
to
the
AAA,
is
before
congress
at
the
present
time.
If
it
passes
as
expected,
with
its
provision
for
8500,000,000
in
payments.
Iowa
farmers
will
receive
approximately
?40,000,OQO
this
year
as

their
share,

by
state
corn-hog
officials
here.
I
Highway
Construction.
The
other
major
item
in
the
1036
column
of
Iowa
participation
in
federal
expenditures
is
$13,82-1,061
available
as
federal
aid
for
highway
construction.
Inclusion
of
53,000,000
for
old
age
assistance
is
based
on
the
federal
_act,
requiring
the
government
to
match
state
appropriations
for
this
purpose.
The
state
old
age
assistance
commission
expects
to
raise
at
least
$3,000,000,
including
the
$1,000,000
appropriation
by
the
legislature,
for
its
program
this
year.
Probability'
that
the
year's
total
may
be
swelled
beyond
the
$135,000,000
mark
is
indicated
by
the
fact
that
no
figure
is
yet
available
for
civilian
conservation
corps
activities
in
Iowa.
Also,
distribution
of
relief
money
is
not
included
because
the
federal
government
is
supposed
to
have
turned
the
relief
problem
back
to
the
state,
excluding,
of
course,
the
WPA
program.

1H33
to
1935,

the
government
has
spent
and
allotted
for
spending
something
like
$2-1.000,000
in
reforestation
and
erosion
control
in
Iowa
through
the
CCC.
The
state
also
was
given
a,

t
in
relief
back
in
1935
when
the
RFC
alloted
,$2.151/130
for
that
purpose
to
Iowa.
The
largest
figure
in
the
tabio,
and
one
of
the
most
important,
is
the
SISS.000,000
which
has
been
advanced
in
farm
loans
by
the
Farm
Credit
administration,
the
survey
reveals.
In
this
type
of
financing,
the
government's
participation
is
limited
to
guaranteeing
the
principal
and
interest
and
the
money
conies
from
the
sale
of

public
and
to

has
been
trooping
expectantly
to
the
court,
looking
for
the
final
ruling.
None
has
come
down
yet,
although
it
has
been
expected
for

The
decision
is
beginning
to
take
on
direct
political
significance
because
of
reports
that
Cooper
may
jump
into
the

if

a
